"Talk is cheap" affirms one OF the
practical proverbs of the day. We
beg to differ. Talk is not cheap; it
is an expensive commodity, and too
often a commodity of little value.
The ability to express ones thoughts
IN a concise, Ineligible and effective
manner, is q valuable accomplish
ment, but the rhetorical art of max
ing spread-cagle speech with one
grain OF sense to ten of superficial
bombast, can almost be rated as a
vice. Many man has elevated him

Hog Cholera--.-Its Prevention.

1t looks very much as if the time is
coming when farmers who would
protect their stock from contagious
diseases will need to adopt customary
measures to prevent diseases from
being brought to their herds. This
can be done by breeding ones own
stock and by quarentining every new
animal purchased sufficient time to
prove its freedom from any infectious
disease.
Mr.. Theodore Louis of Wisconsin,
at recent farmers institute in his
State, gave his methods of treating
his swine to make money and keep
his stock healthy. The report is from
the Milwaukee Sentinel.
He had restored what was once O
worn-out farm to far more than its
original fertility, and all done by feed
ing swine. He wanted good con-
stitution in both male and female, for
constitutional infirmities are trans
mitted through breeding as well as
constitutional eXcellences. He likes
a hog of firm build and short legs.
No male should be allowed a wide
range, or be taken from his home for
service. As to cooked food, while it
might be true that it did not pay for
fattening hogs that are to be killed
young, yet his observation showed
that it il well to feed stock hogs cook
ed food. He believed in breeding
from mature parents, as they brought
strong and healthy pigs. He used to
believe in keeping hogs until
eighteen months old, of which to
make pork, but found that was a
fmistake-ten months is long enough
to keep them proftably.
He leaves the pigs with the mother
on clover pasture, three months, and
then pushes them for growth and
fattening seven months. He feeds
the mother grain only she is giving
milk. Sows should not be bred from
after being five years old. Sweet
corn should be planted and freely fed
to hogs in the stalk at about the time
the corn is fit to roast. He believed
the time of feeding hogs corn, and
corn stalks, while in that condition,
should be greatly prolonged, and SC
he is going to-havea silo to enable
him to do it. The silo is as necessary
for the swine-breeder as for the dairy.
man. He raises turnips, squashes,
pumpkins, spring rye and oats, and
steams the whole business TO feed his
hogs. He would not have deep
troughs or feed hog sour food. He
looks upon sour swill as an abomina
ton for a decent hog. When he
bought hog to get new, pure blood
he quarantined him several weeks
away from the rest, until doubly as.
sured that he, had no disease. He
gives all the salt his hogs will eat by
having it always within their reach
and had been voted "hog crank" or
sailing hogs and feeding them char
coal, sandstone, ashes and copperas,
but believed in it, and had healthy
herd to show for his faith.

A Rat and Snake Fight.
Erom Me Lafanette Messenqer.

One of our popular young farmers, noted
for truthfulness as well as modesty, tells the
following story of fight between rat and
a snake, He,w at his stable one morning
not long ago, and after doing some chores
around the lot he sat down and began to
meditate-he is given to such things occa-
sionlly-and while sitting on the fence near
his stable he saw snake crawl out from
under the crib in quite hurry; presently a
large rat followed and attacked the snake
fiercely It jumped upon his snakeship, and
at once the reptile coiled and endeavored to
strike the rat, but it was quick and escaped
the bites. meanwhile plying its own teeth in
a fearless manner. The rat and snake
clinched, rolled up in q wad, the snake try
inc to coil around the rat. Just at that mo-
ment the rat, securing good chance, seized
the snake near its tail and bit it terribly. In
much pain and agony the serpent quickly
gave up the fight and made off, the rat
following a short distance, and then return
inc. went back to the crib Several times
II came out and snelled along through the
weeds, as If seeming the snake. IL Is sup
posed that the snake had eaten the old rats

A Ravenous Eagle.

A writer in the Dublin Gazette says: On
May | saw fight between an eagle and a
buzzard. was walking beside the swamp,
about two miles below my plantation, when
| heard roaring sound like that made by a
train in rapid motion, or by heavy wind.
The noise approached nearer and nearer and
grew louder and louder / looked all around
but could see nothing, and was at loss to
know what caused the disturbance until |
happened to look up, when l saw two large
fowls fighting in mid air, about the height
of a tall pine tree from the ground. In q
short while both fell to the ground only about
twenty steps from me. / then saw that
it was a very large eagle which had caught
a buzzard as her prey. For three minutes l
never saw feathers fly SO in my life. The
eagle hoped off few feet distant and
warily surveyed her prey. She then hoped
up to the buzzard, turned it over with one
claw, and having become satisfied that it
was dead, few up into pine and gave two
screams which could easily have been heard
a mile She sailed off over the swamp, re-
turning in short while with four young
eagles about the size of a large hawk. They
ali pitched upon the buzzard and COM
menced tearing it in pieces. Just such chat
tering have never heard. There was a
grown hog feeding near by, and no doubt
smelling the blood, trotted up to where the
eagles were. The old mother eagle screamed
and.struck the hog, cutting one of the hogs
ears off even with its head. Thezhog re-
treated and the eagle struck it az Min, this
time taking off part of its tail. ] then
advanced, but did not desire d fight,
and hence moved off in the opposite direc-
ton leaving her and family to peacefully
complete their meal. The eagle, am salts
fed, would measure twelve or fifteen feet
from tip to tip of wings, and was capable of
bearing away a small child II had been
provided with a gun might have killed
the mother and captured all of the young.
Mr.. Lester, a few days afterward, found the
